"This packaged-bread company, best known for its potato rolls, was thrust into controversy after its executive chair donated over $100,000 to far-right gubernatorial candidate and state senator Doug Mastriano, whose positions include no-exceptions abortion bans, claims of 2020 election fraud, COVID vaccine denial, and Christian nationalist rhetoric. The disclosure prompted immediate calls for boycotts and disinvestment; because its potato rolls are widely used in the food industry — including by a major burger chain for nearly 20 years — the situation has generated public pressure on buyers and suppliers and raised concerns about partisan counter-boycotts from the brand's supporters." - Dayna Evans
